Hmm, Markus,
I wonder why SMW doesn't allow it's owner to state that things in FOAF are
the same as in vCard? After all, it's about "anynone can say anything about
everything" approach.
I don't think it makes sense for someone to talk to FOAF and vCard creators
just to state that his term is both. Maybe it's not a very good idea to do
so, but it's a reasonable idea. Otherwise how's that different from me
stating the same in OWL description of external ontology and then mapping
this ontology (instead of FOAF and vCard)?
I think multiple imported from might make sense, will be happy to discuss
implications in more detail.
Thank you,
Sergey
